For the longest time, I've had the idea of mounting a framed picture of rollercoasterguy on a raspberry pi driven servo. That way the servo would rotate him up or down based on that day's bitcoin change.

I streamed this live on Facebook, so I didn't really care much about the resolution. Hopefully, it won't be too difficult upping the audio and video quality while keeping things live!

I think the thing I want to improve the most is keeping the virtual world synched with the real world despite handheld disturbances. The second I picked up the camera, the lag between the two became atrociously apparent. Any suggestions? I'll post how the Vive Tracker is attatched to the camera.

PODSAT (Payload Orbital Delivery Satellite) is the third mission by NovaWurks to demonstrate the satlets technology.

Satlets are a new low-cost, modular satellite architecture that can scale almost infinitely. Satlets are small modules that incorporate multiple essential satellite functions and share data, power and thermal management capabilities. Satlets physically aggregate in different combinations that would provide capabilities to accomplish diverse missions.

The Payload Orbital Delivery system Satellite (PODSat) is a four-HISat PAC nearing the start of assembly, integration, and test. PODSat was integrated with the SSL built Hispasat 30W-6 satellite. PODSat is designed to be the free-flying element of the DARPA-funded Hosted POD Assembly (HPA), which seeks to provide a platform (the POD) and a separation mechanism for it be deployed by a host spacecraft. Conceived to take advantage of under-utilized launch vehicle payload mass and reliable, frequent launch opportunities, the initial HPA would be hosted on a geostationary communications satellite, with the PODSat deployment occurring in a subsynchronous geostationary transfer orbit.

PODSat would provide a demonstration of the ability of cellular architecture to incorporate a structural element, the POD chassis, into a PAC. Similar to the way app-based software architectures allow easy integration of new software, celluar architectures could offer that same feature to a variety of hardware options.

The PODSat experiment would also provide valuable in-orbit data on an orbit environmental regime outside of the first two experiments.

I've been waiting for one game ever since it was announced, but I can't seem to hear when it's coming to PC. Has anyone heard anything about a release date for Skyrim VR for PC? All I've heard is this year. .

After they watched the footage of of the bowel dissection in the pool area, the guy sitting next to me simply stood up and walked out. He didn't leave during the scene, he waited till it concluded, and then just decided it wasn't for him. Left without looking back. :P

Ok so I noticed every bodies death is related to their reason for joining the squad. The geologist had a daughter that died too soon, she died pretty quickly, the psychologist with cancer dies from the inside out, and the sducidal girl decided to just walk off and die. What I’m trying to figure out is how the drug addicts death relates to her background. All I can think of is that she was drunk off power? Any help?

The addict - finding out which of her two theories happened, something killed the crews, or they killed each other. Her actions ensured both came true.

The physicist - feeling alive / proving her theory of refraction correct. She becomes a living monument to her theory, finding peace and contentment in her "evolution".

The psychiatrist - figuring out what was causing the shimmer. This scene I think is the most open to interpretation, but I for one think her need to solve the mystery caused her to become the source of the shimmer herself.

The Husband - he needed to 'self destruct' after losing his marriage, but couldn't abandon his wife entirely. He needed to end his suffering but still go on, be there for her.

The main character - she told him she knew why he went out there. She needed to attone for what she had put him through, eventually going through the same journey he did, eventually not knowing for herself if she was indeed healed, or the resulting shell of a person.

The Lighthouse base stations do not contain IMUs as far as I know. They send a flash of light, a vertical sweep, a flash, and a horizontal sweep. The rotor is synchronized with the other station so that the sweeps are consistent and properly timed. The sensors on the headset and controllers receive this information and use it to compute their position, supplementing their IMUs.

The stations won't work upside-down because the sweeps are going in the wrong direction. That's probably why.

This system should work if the whole thing is moving. However, centripetal force will change the expected down vector in the IMU, so expect your world to tilt if the RV goes around a corner. This down vector is the main reason why the tracking will not work in space, on the moon, or on Mars. However, you could reflash the Vive's firmware and disable the 9.8 m/s2 value, at which point it will probably work. I have seen other VR systems in a weightless environment and they obviously had to take this into account in order to properly track vertical movements.

Opening a bag a chips upside down(flip it upside down, then open from the bottom of the bag, now facing upright). It comes from the manufacture in a box, shipped in that box, and then sits on a shelf until you buy it(to AdSet). So all the good flavor has worked it’s way down to the bottom of the bag. The first Doritos(or what ever chip it may be) taste great, if not all!

Edit: A light, up and down shake, add a spin move, is also a great idea... for more deliciousness in your mouth per chip!

Edit2: You need to shake it gently while turning it all around, bro!(like sand in a hour glass, get the flavor to go from top to bottom, while upside down) That's a more superior way to distribute all the spicy goodness inside the package than a simple upside down turn.

BTW, there was a thing in McD years ago, when they gave you a paper bag, and different kind of spices in small pouches. The idea was the same. You put your fries and the spices into the bag, and shake it like a madman. /u/viktor_orban

thanks for the next level tip! (pls don't shake chips like a mad man!)
